Bear Archery Hair Rest & Plate Reviews

I will never buy this again.

Came with no adhesive backing, also very poor construction, the fibers were falling off right out of the package. Same some money and buy the three rivers set, I've been pretty underwhelmed by anything in archery that has the Bear name attached to it.

Love this Rest and Plate - A true classic look and feel.

Keeping It Vintage Bear

Steve K.

As a collector of vintage Bear recurve bows it is so awesome that 3Rivers keeps these Bear shelf rests and strike plates available. Easy to install and super sticky glue backing ensures they never move on the bow. Best of all it keeps my Bear bows looking like the day they came out of the factory in the 1960's & 70's!

It worked for me so i bought another

Seems to be of good quality. It is a BEAR ARCHERY product after all

Better than expected

I was hesitant about how well the adhesive would stick to the bow and would the edges of the rest roll up over time. No complaints and pleasantly surprised with no issues of that.

Was skeptical but it works

Old School Archer

I was very skeptical about using this system instead of a plastic arrow rest but I wanted this simple rest/plate to go with my recurve barebow. I've shot with it on four outings at the range and so far no issues. I got the rest and plate with a recurve bow kit and 3Rivers installed for me and they did a pretty good job as both pieces are still firmly secure. So any newbies who are read more getting into traditional archery can have confidence that they can shoot from this rest, no problem. Only thing is you need to shoot fletched arrows with it.

You may need a small amount of clearance between the rest and si 5 years ago

You may need a small amount of clearance between the rest and side plate. The down hen feather will naturally show some signs of wear over time.

I had an older Ben Person bow that presented with a similar prob 5 years ago

I had an older Ben Person bow that presented with a similar problem. I found that leaving a small gap between the edge of the rest and the riser(1/8) inch, and placing a portion of a toothpick under plate seemed to help a little. It seemed to add a little more feather clearance.

The weather rest will allow you to shoot arrows with plastic van 9 years ago

The weather rest will allow you to shoot arrows with plastic vanes. People do this for many reasons, including arrows with plastic vanes are easier to find and may be cheaper. The hair rest is for shooting off the shelf. Plastic vanes do not fly well off the shelf because they will not collapse like feather fletching. Personally, I like feathers off the shelf. Either one will work just fine, the Weather will allow you to use both plastic and feathers.

Hair rest is just what is implied it rests on the arrow shelf on 3 years ago

Hair rest is just what is implied it rests on the arrow shelf on the bow (you just stick it on and the arrow rests on top. the plate is vertical and sticks on the inside of the arrow shelf. So under your arrow is the rest and on the side of your arrow is the rubber plate. Hope this helps.
